'''Opassa Beach''' is an enigmatic coastline found on the southwest corner of the [[El Nido]] island. A scenic and beautiful stretch of sand, it was often visited by residents of [[Arni]]. Specifically, [[Serge]] and [[Leena]] often met there. In 1010 A.D., while visiting the area, Serge was attacked by his father [[Wazuki]] and brutally drowned; this caused Arni village to post warning signs around the area and forbid entrance to young people. Later, in 1020 A.D., [[Kid]] traveled back through time and rescued Serge, effectively causing the [[Home World]] dimension to come into existence and split off from the main dimension, [[Another World]]. As a residual effect, a connection was retained between the two dimensions at Opassa Beach, allowing the missing piece in Another World to venture to that dimension by utilizing a dimensional distortion (in all likelihood, Opassa Beach was probably specially constructed or enchanted to have this effect by [[Belthasar]]). Belthasar named the distortion ''Angelus Errare - Where Angels Lose Their Way''. The Gate went unused until 1020 A.D. in Home World; on a lark with Leena, Serge was engulfed by a wave and slipped into Another World. Much later, he was told by Kid that her [[Astral Amulet]] would allow him to come and go as he liked between dimensions; he utilized this capacity to retrieve [[Hydra Humour]] for her. Party members could also come with him to the other world, provided they were in close proximity. When Serge switched bodies with [[Lynx]], the distortion stopped functioning as it did not recognize his body. | |||

Somehow, the destruction of the [[Dead Sea]] reactivated this capability, and Serge was free to travel between dimensions once more. The final purpose of Opassa Beach came at the end of his quest, after [[Terra Tower]] emerged and was infiltrated. Belthasar gave Serge a [[Time Egg]] to use at a special temporal distortion at Opassa Beach which would allow him to enter the [[Darkness Beyond Time]] and challenge the [[Time Devourer]]. This distortion appeared purple (Angelus Erarre appeared green); the [[Ghost Children]] also appeared on the beach and encouraged Serge to finish the effort and free [[Schala]]. He held up the Time Egg, and disappeared to the darkness. Later, he woke up on the beach, though at the time of his original crossing the dimensions. | Somehow, the destruction of the [[Dead Sea]] reactivated this capability, and Serge was free to travel between dimensions once more.

''The Angelus Errare'' may be a pun on the American City, {{w|Los Angeles}}. While in Spanish the term translates to "The Angels", it does seem to have a tongue-in-cheek meaning in English: "lost angels" or "loss of angels". Also, the scenic positioning of the city resembles Opassa Beach. | ''The Angelus Errare'' may be a pun on the American City, {{w|Los Angeles}}.
